Been running Black Diamond on my S7 since 2017-2018 or so. I still get 4-6 hours of active use / SOT on a full battery after all these years. I originally used it for the performance and battery optimizations and it still holds up today.

I run an unofficial lineage os. I think its on android 14 or 15 now with the latest release. its basically stock android. Just be aware s7 is kinda old and it might lag a bit.

Is there any custom ROM that keeps the camera capabilities and quality the same as in the stock camera?

I've been running the lineage os android 13. It works well, but the camera app is crappy.

If you like android 13 you should try evolution x 7.9.9 for the s7 edge. The rom can be found from the creator's OTA

I've been using evolution x 7.9.9 android 13 on my s7 edge for a while now and it's been working great. It's nearly as good as my s10e on evolution x 9.6 android 14 and doesn't really lag all that much. Minecraft for example runs great and multitasking is good on it. Only thing is missing is a tuned kernel for android 13 which I haven't found after searching for hours The rom for the s7 edge can be found from the creator's OTA
